Release Information

2022 is well underway, and we’re eager to see what else lies ahead. For now, let’s enjoy a round of exciting Backlog updates.

TL;DR

Enhance your comments with a laugh, smile, or thumbs-up from the Google Emoji font. We switched from Apple Emojis.

NEW

Try out Google Emojis in comments: We replaced Apple Emojis with the Google Emoji font in text boxes.
Git Webhook IPs: New Backlog Git Webhook IPs have been added.

IMPROVED

Watch button behavior improved: When you hover the cursor over the Watch button, it becomes highlighted. If you select Watch, the button remains highlighted until you choose the option to Unwatch the task.
Easier to invite new users: Now, there’s no more confusion when adding users to the team. We improved the dialog for default team and guest user invitations, making it easier to understand the teams that are automatically added.
Link text improved: We made it possible to escape a colon in link text so that URLs containing a colon are displayed correctly.
Apache update: We updated Apache Log4J version to 2.17.1.
Removed @slackbot from selectable drop-down: Now, @Slackbot does not appear in the “Channel or Direct Message” option of Slack notification settings.
Archived channels are hidden: We made Slack notifications less cluttered. Archived channels are no longer visible in channel selection but are still accessible by search.

FIXED

The Emoji input suggestion feature wasn’t working correctly. Input text would remain in the text box after users selected the Emoji suggestion.
We fixed a vulnerability in the file upload function in the API.
We fixed a vulnerability in the CSV export feature.
Issue keys weren’t rendering as links.
In the Classic plan, loading wouldn’t stop when users opened the Gantt chart as a Viewer.

With the rest of the year stretching ahead, we’re excited to see all the ways your team will put our product to good use.
